Variation: "Pinhooks"
1) Each team has five flags. The object of the game is to retrieve all five flags from your opponent's side. Once you have achieved this objective, the game is over.
2) There is no jail. Instead, if you are tagged in enemy territory, you remain standing at the spot where you were tagged. You then extend your hands with each thumb erect, forming "pins." You must remain in this position until a teammate taps each one of your pins, at which point you are free to move. If only one of your thumbs is tagged, you must remain immobile until your second thumb is tagged by a teammate.
3) If you are tagged while in possession of a flag, the flag remains at your feet while you are immobile. Once freed, you may pick up the flag and run back to your side.
